Aristarchus of Thessalonica

Aristarchus of Thessalonica was a Greek Macedonian from Thessalonica who accompanied Saint Paul on his journey to Rome. Along with Gaius of Ephesus, he was seized by Demetrius the Silversmith's pagan mob at Ephesus and taken to the theater, where a Roman official disbanded the rioters. Aristarchus later accompanied Paul back to Asia, and he later became Bishop of Apamea and was martyred.
